[quote=Anonymous]OP, personally I would try and find a meatball without gluten and dairy or make my own as I try to be as strict as possible with the diet.  Also, I totally get trying to expand a palate of a super picky child with SN.  You will be surprised how well he will eventually eat when he is truly hungry, and there are none of his usual meatballs.  Variety is good for them, but I understand as a mother how distressing it is when your child refuses to eat something.  My son unfortunately eats no berries and is also picky with protein.  He loves turkey bacon though and will eat fish and chicken that I cook if that's all that's offered and he's in the mood.  He is big for his age so I guess I don't stress if he doesn't eat as much one day b/c he's not failing to thrive from a weight standpoint.  Hope it goes well!  It does make a difference for us and is overall a healthier way to eat.  I wish I could be as strict and organized as the person who has the perfectly behaved children, but we are no where near that level of organization, and my child is very far from perfectly-behaved, but his behavior and ability to focus is improved on the diet. I do believe gluten and casein affect his brain, and he is slowly beginning to read after the fog has lifted. On dairy and gluten, he had a "glazed" look in his eyes. Even the doctors he sees at CNMC have told me to continue the diet as it's working.[/quote]
